Tibet Self-Driving Tour Guide to Explore the 'End of the World' - Shigatse's Secret Glacier

In the previous article, we mentioned our arrival at Gangba County in Shigatse The main purpose is to see the Qudeng Nima Glacier So early in the morning, we set off from Gangba County Self-driving 🚗 for an hour to reach the entrance To see the glacier up close We need to hike 2 kilometers The altitude ranges from 5000 to 5200 meters Although the ascent is only 200 meters The high altitude means very few people come here There are actually three parts to the Qudeng Nima Glacier We went to the more accessible Copper Lake‼️ The Qudeng Nima Glacier is not very large, but it is one of the few glaciers that can be viewed up close, allowing you to clearly see the textures In summer, some of the glacier melts But the lake water remains clear and blue, very pure It is said that in winter❄️, the lake surface freezes, and you can walk close to the glacier. For safety reasons, we did not walk along the lake this time! But it was already very impressive🏔️ Behind the glacier are snow-capped mountains, and looking out at this sacred land, it feels like the end of the world, a new life experience! Climbing to an altitude of 5200 meters to see the glacier 🔺Qudeng Nima Glacier • Copper Lake Self-driving 🚗 can directly navigate, and when you are almost there, there is a fork in the road, just follow the road signs ‼️It takes about 1 hour to drive from Gangba County, and the round trip hike is 4 kilometers! The difficulty is not high, just the altitude! 🚗tips:‼️ ✅There is a checkpoint and registration near the end, as it is close to the border, drones are not allowed! You need to store them 🛅 at the gate, and retrieve them 🔙 when you return ✅There is a parking area at the hiking entrance, where you can see many Tibetan compatriots (bathing in glacier water), and you can go up from both sides of the river, the left side is relatively easier! Return the same way after viewing the glacier ✅It's best to go in the morning, as the weather changes quickly on the plateau, and the wind is strong! It's warmer with the sun 🌞 at noon! ✅Keep warm and be aware of altitude sickness, you can bring oxygen ✅Bring less food and water, the round trip is 4 kilometers, a short journey
